Amplify Capital and Zacua Ventures co-led a pre-seed round in CURA Climate.

Amplify Capital, a venture capital firm investing in health, education, and climate-tech startups, and Zacua Ventures, an early-stage VC focused on the built environment and sustainability, co-led a pre-seed round in CURA Climate, a climate-tech startup developing electrochemical technology to decarbonize cement and lime production. Financial terms were not disclosed. “Our thesis at Zacua is to back breakthrough technologies that directly transform the construction industry. CURA’s electrochemical process addresses one of the industry’s hardest-to-abate challenges with a solution that is both technically elegant and economically compelling. By leveraging standard limestone and a retrofit-ready design, they offer a pathway to scale faster than conventional carbon-capture retrofits. With our global network across construction stakeholders, and particularly among leading heavy-materials producers, we’re proud to support CURA’s seasoned founding team as they advance toward pilot and full-scale deployment,” Juan Nieto, Zacua Ventures founding partner.
